Obesity and nutrition The Government recommends an intake of at least five portions of fruit or vegetables per person per day to help reduce the risk of some cancers, heart disease and many other chronic conditions. Figure 26: Fruit and vegetable consumption Figure 26 takes data from the Health Survey England. This shows that an estimated 26% of the population of Copeland reported eating five or more pieces of fruit and vegetables per day. This is slightly worse than the Cumbria average of 28%. Obesity and Physical activity Adults who are physically active have a 20-30% reduced risk of premature death (DoH 2004). Physical activity has an effect on cardiovascular risk, it reduces the risk of some cancers such as colorectal cancer, and it reduces the incidence of falls and osteoporosis in the elderly, and has been shown to reduce depression, stress and anxiety (DoH 2004). The National Indicator, N18 measures the percentage of the adult population (age 16 years and over) in a local area who participate in sport and active recreation, at moderate intensity, for at least 30 minutes on at least 12 days out of the last 4 weeks (equivalent to 30 minutes on 3 or more days a week). Figures taken from Sport England show that just over 20% of the adult population of Copeland participate in some form of physical activity. This is below the Cumbria average of 22%. Mental Health Mental well-being is as important as physical health if people are to live their lives to the full. Mental ill-health is common with one in four people experiencing a mental health problem at some point in their life. Ten percent of children have a mental health problem.
